Made up of members of Municipal Waste and Battlemaster, Cannibis Corpse are kind of like the Bongzilla of death metal. Completely obsessed with marijuana
and pot culture to the point of naming their songs "Staring Through My Eyes That Are Red", "Reefer Stashed Place", and "Force Fed Shitty Grass", and titling
their debut album Blunted At Birth, Cannibis Corpse are a bit more tongue in cheek than Bongzilla and obviously have a totally different musical
approach, but the two bands share an extreme obsession with pot smoking that borders on the pathological. But these guys are also hilarious death metal
satirists, writing goofy pot-centric lyrics about smoking dope out of bongs made from human skulls and terminally stoned zombies, in a style that is
obviously inspired by the gory lyrics of Cannibal Corpse and which totally parody death metal conventions. When it comes to the jams, though, they play it
pretty straight with straight up old school death metal, like Suffocation or Cannibal Corpse, laced with the occasional funky bass solo. Catchy, brutal
downtuned death metal, crunchy technical riffing and ridiculous gutteral vocals that give Chris Barnes a run for his money. I'm not sure how much further
they can take this whole concept, but Blunted At Birth succeeds as a goofy, crushing blat of comedic death metal that's as funny as anything that
Putrescence has done. Great old-school DM demo style artwork.
